    Four good days here. The last two gave 5.2 and 5.3 Os, so now a little ahead of target for July.

    Time for the 'kiss of death' question, but could this be 7 above target months in a row? :drool:

    Mart.
    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.
